Another bogus "hoard" on ebay
When will it ever stop?? This is supposedly an old farmer's hoard "from the great depression", yet the feedback shows that most coins are from the 1950's. Even the images show that the WWII era coins are worn. If a farmer were to have really thrown all of his change in "buckets in the garage", wouldn't the coins be uncirculated or very close to it??
This guy makes me sick!

Here's what I am gonna do: I am going to win a lot from this whack job and then post the following feedback:
AMAZING! I found a 1944-D cent in VG-8 (shot F-12). Also found not 2, but 3 64-P dimes in VF or better!! THANKS!!!

Auctions like this are so successful because they appeal to a very basic thing (hint: It starts with a "G" and is one of the seven deadly sins) in human nature.
One can say anything in the feedback, and not go to jail, about what they have "found" in these lots, can't they?
I once wrote a wheat hoard seller (not this one) of the absence in his hundreds in number feedbacks of reported finds of not-to-common but not-all-that-scarce coins like '31-P, '32-P, '33-P, etc. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of 1931-33 dated pennies I found out of the many, many rolls from banks that I searched in the early '60's.
Guess what I started seeing about two weeks later in his feedback. Lucky buyers of his lots were now reporting a few finds of wheats with dates 1931-33.

HUGE HOARD FOUND IN THE KINGDOM OF SLEEP!!!
$14.95 for a half pound and you will get at lease 1 silver coin, 2 nickels, some steel pennies and wheat cents!!! Really we have never searched through these!!!
Buwhahahahaha!
Knowingly making false claims about one's merchandise is dishonest. I know it's been put out there in these threads as a kind of joke for a buyer to make a claim of finding something really good such as '14-D, or SVDB, or 55 DDO when in fact none of these coins have been found.
This doesn't tick the seller off at all. It actually will help them sell more lots at big profit margin. I've seen it happen. It occurs to me that the seller might even find a way to "reward" a false claimer.
I asked the seller of the unsearched wheatie lots when the SVDB was found since I couldn't find the feedback for this claimed lucky find. Question went unanswered.
